Reviews

• Martin from Slovakia (10/10)

  A very nice place to rest, everything is clean and nicely decorated. It has a beautiful view of the mountains, and the yard is the right place to enjoy. The interior of the house is a real small museum that took us back to some old times. Each room is decorated differently and something interesting can be found for everyone. The host is kind, all praises.

• Liezl from Netherlands (9/10)

  A group of friends stayed in the magnificent Villa for 4 nights and it was wonderful. The view is next level and the hot tub was amazing. We made wonderful meals in the kitchen. The house is very big and historic – a true Villa from Tuscany

• Calum from United Kingdom (10/10)

  There are not many opportunities to stay in a grand 16th century house, and this is exceptionally well looked after. Of course it means most of the furnishings are antique, but that's how it should be. That said, it has an extremely well built modern swimming pool and a jacuzzi in an old well. We stayed as a group of eight and it was perfect for us. The outside areas are perfect for dining and relaxing. There is even a gym! The kitchen has everything you need to cook large meals and there are two ovens. Leonardo was one of the most helpful hosts I've ever encountered. He recommended a wine tasting and local hikes. And there's tonnes to do nearby in the whole Garfagnana valley. Supermarkets and the town of Castelnuovo mean you have everything on hand. Roads up to the villa are tight but really well maintained. You won't have any trouble getting there (we managed the drive from Firenze airport after dark with no problems). The view of the hills each day is just stunning. We very much hope to return.

• Przemyslaw from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Very traditional villa with stunning mountains view. From the moment you walk in to the property you will feel so special. We came with group of friends to celebrate my birthday. We had such an amazing time. From the moment we landed in Pisa to the moment we left we were feeling so special. Huge thank you to
  Leonardo and his team for helping us with everything. We didn’t have to worry about anything. They literally organised everything. Dinners at the villa, transport, trips, local food etc. Very highly recommend place to stay. Will definitely come back again soon.

• Nana from Australia (9/10)

  Our host was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The villa was a treasure built in1500s and full of fabulous artifacts. The garden including pool and spa were amazingly beautiful with awesome views of the Apuan mountains. Peaceful and tranquil away from the hustle and bustle.

• Superdukebiker from Germany (10/10)

  Die Villa ist ein riesiges Anwesen aus dem.Jahr 1582. Das Ambiente ähnelt dem einer Burg. Imponierend ist die gigantische Terrasse mit Garten, auf der man am Tisch sitzen, in der Sonne liegen, oder abends mit einer Feuerschale den.Tag ausklingen lassen kann. Im Salon nebenan ist das Speisezimmer für bis zu 10 Personen, wo man meim.Abendessen durch fensterlose Bögen in den Sonnenuntergang schaut.
